19O7 

Just  to  mark  a  passing  year 
Rhymes  and  faces  greet  you  here. 
Scan  each  page,  salute  your  pal 
Every  good  Industrial. 

A.  S.  H. 


THE  REASON  WHY 

Now  all  ye  good  Industrials 

Raise  up  your  voice  with  me 
And  In  this  meeting:  of  your  pals 

Explain  just  why  are  we. 
If  anybody  asks  you  why 

The  reason's  always  clear, 
For  brotherhood  and  destiny 

We're  here  because  we're  here. 
CHORUS 

We're  here  because  we're  here. 


JOHN  H.  WOOD 
We  have  a  new  member  named 

Wood 
Who  said  he  would  come  If  he 

could; 

If  he  isn't  here  yet 
I'm  sure  we  can  bet 
We  are  all  missing  something  that 

is  good. 


JAMES  R.  BAKER 

If  you  get  Baker  started 
He  can  sing  us  many  tunes, 

But  don't  let  him  talk  shop  tonight 
Or  he'll  fill  us  up  with  prunes. 


HENRY  I.  MILLER 

Are  we  Industrials  or  are  we  not? 

Shall  railways  run  or  shall  rail- 
ways not? 

Mr.  President,  who's  at  the  tiller? 

Let's  put  the  question  to  Henry 
Miller. 


RICHARD  SCHMIDT 

We  shall  expect  our  architect 

Tonight  to  make  a  hit. 
When  we  want  castles  in  the  air 

We'll  call  for  Richard  Schmidt. 


JAMES  KEELEY 

(  With  apologies  to  the  Stein  Song  ) 

We  "arouse  then  in  the  May  time" 

Sometimes  when  we  toast  in  fizz, 

But  here  is  a  man 

Who  makes  it  a  plan 

To '  'turn  night  time  into  day  time, ' ' 

As  a  regular  matter  of  biz. 


DARIUS  MILLER 

If  you  want  to  go  somewhere 

The  very  worst  way, 

And  a  very  odd  joke  says  you  do, 

Never  mind  where  you  go 

Or  where  you  shall  stay, 

See  Miller  and  ride  on  the  Q. 


DAVID  A.  NOTES 

Davy  Noyes  is  one  of  the  Boys 
Who  bucks  the  Board  of  Trade. 
He  looks  like  a  Swede 
But  no,  indeed  I 
He's  Indiana  made. 


W.  H.  REHM 

If  everybody  spelled  like  Rehm, 
How  funny  It  would  sehm, 
His  eyes  would  behm, 
The  girls  would  screhm, 
You'd  never  drehtn  such  things 
of  Rehm. 


ROBERT  J.  THORNE 

When  looking  out  for  baby  boys 
If  you  would  see  one  born, 

Remember  our  male  order  house 
And  telephone  Bob  Thorne. 


E.  F.  CARRY 

Now  Carry  swings  in  many  clubs, 
Our  own  among  the  rest, 

But  caddies  out  at  Exmoor  say 
He  loves  his  Niblick  best. 


THEO.  C.  KELLER 

Down  in  the  coal  mine  with  Keller 
With  pick,  drill,  shovel  and  blast, 

That's  where  the  Dagos  raise  Heller 
And  Keller  hopes  each  time's  the 
last. 


W.  V.  KELLEY 
Kelley's  a  founder 

But  what  has  he  found  ? 
That's  easy  to  see 

By  looking  around. 
He  finds  you  Industrials, 

Joins  with  you, 
And  you  find  Kelley, 

A  good  find,  too. 


C.  £.  ROLLINS,  JR. 

In  any  kind  of  fire  Rollins 
Saves  you  from  the  worst. 

He's  the  best  of  underwriters, 
When  you  have  a  burning;  thirst. 


F.  G.  HARTWELL 

When  members  join  in  with  us 
It's  good  that  they  should  start 
well, 

So  greet  the  very  littlest  cus 
You  know  his  name  is  Hartwell. 


R.  R.  HAMMOND 

A  collier  lad  is  Hammond 
Bringing  coals  in  from  afar, 

Is  he  the  man  who  makes  the 

smoke? 
Just  look  at  his  cigar. 


RICHARD  C.  HALL. 

Who  is  this  new  Club  baby, 
So  big  and  fat  and  tall; 

He's  got  the  duck  brand  on  him 
And  they  say  his  name  is  Hall. 


E.  M.  SKINNER 

Says  she  "He  is  a  man  to  win." 
Says  I  "He  is  a  winner." 

Says  he  "I  think  it's  time  to  skin," 
Says  I  "Why  don't  you  Skinner?" 


W.  R.  MICHAELIS 

If  I  found  a  rhyme  for  Mlchaelis 
I'd  send  it  to  him  in  a  frame 
For  a  word  that  is  pat  with  a 

twister  like  that 
Would  make  him  good  friends 
with  his  name. 


GEORGE  M.  REYNOLDS 

If  Reynolds  is  elected,  he 
lias  just  himself  to  thank. 

He's  on  the  square,  so  we  don't 

care 
A  Continental  Bank. 


GUSTAVE  F.  FISCHER 

Fischer  says  the  Industrial  Club 

Is  simply  out  of  sight. 
So  what's  the  matter  with  Fischer 

We  all  know  he's  all  right  I 


GEORGE  P.  RINN. 

I  take  my  plank  from  George  P. 

Rinn, 

And  on  it  write  the  sonnet, 
As  officer  he's  the  one  to  win 
Tonight's  the  time  he  will  begin 
With  V.  P.  in  his  bonnet. 


EDWARD  R.  HEISSLER 

One  a  penny,  two  a  penny, 

Hot  Cross  Bun, 
Eat  'em  up,  Industrials, 

For  Heissler's  got  the  mon. 


RUDOLPH  ORTMANN 

Now  Ortm aim's  not  consistent, 

Not  many  of  us  are, 
A  Griffin  wheel  runs  in  his  head, 

A in  his  car. 


GEORGE  E.  MARCY 

Marcy  is  a  golfer, 

That's  what  Marcy  thinks. 
Marcy  comes  to  my  Club 

And  beats  me  on  the  links. 
I  went  to  Marcy's  Club, 

Left  him  feeling  sore. 
I  really  think  I  beat  him 

But  Marcy  kept  the  score. 


HUGH  Me  BIRNEY  JOHNSTON 

Hello!  is  that  you,  Johnston? 

Say,  what's  the  stock  to  try  ? 
Good  buy  ?  Is  that  so,  Johnston  ? 

Good  buy  ?  All  right,  good  bye. 


MASON  B.  STARRING 

Sins:  a  song  of  Starring, 
Ain't  he  feeling  jolly? 

See  the  smile  that  won't  come  off 
As  he  steer*  the  trolley. 

Have  you  noticed  Starring? 

Seen  him  sing  and  dance, 
Ever  since  election,  when 

They  got  the  Ordinance? 


W.  A.  GARDNER 

Rah!    Rah!    Rah!    Northwestern! 

is  that  a  college  yell? 
Not  nuch,  it  means  the  railway 

And  Gardner  knows  it  well. 


CARL  SCHUTTLER 

"Then  bring  the  wagon  home," 
Carl, 

The  kind  you  understand. 
"We  used  to  ride  round  in  it" 

We  like  the  Schuttler  brand. 


ERNEST  W.  HEATH 

A  painter  here  of  great  renown 
May  hide  his  modest  head, 

But  when  you  go  to  paint  the  town 
See  Heath  and  paint  it  red. 


CrfMMf     A

OF  NMLS  ." 


HENRY  BENEKE 

The  boy  called  out  for  Beneke 
"He's  top  heavy,"  he  said, 

"He  carries  nails  and  bails  and  pails 
And  hardware  in  his  head." 


GEORGE  H.  HIGH 

Here's  the  Secretary, 

Do  you  recognize  him  ?    Try. 
Looks  contented,  very, 

How  is  this  for  High? 


F.  H.  RAWSON 

Now  Rawson's  a  Union  man, 
The  kind  that  will  not  bust ; 

He  works  a  very  conservative  plan 
Around  the  Union  Trust. 


LOUIS  MOHR 

In  Industrials  we  greet  as  such 
With  fellow  feelings,  for 

We  surely  like  all  members  much 
But  love  our  Louis  Mohr. 


ROBERT  R.  Me  CORMICK 
Little  drops  of  water 

From  Lake  Michigan 
Keep  Me  Cormick  busy 

With  the  drainage  plan. 
Take  your  coat  off,  Robert, 

Go  for  all  the  Powers, 
Tip  the  lake  the  other  way 

And  give  us  what  is  ours. 


PHILIP  W.  SEIPP 

Phil  Seipp,  he  came  of  a  fighting 

clan, 
Fame  says  he's  always  fought 

her; 

How  could  he  be  a  peaceful  man, 
When  hand  in  hand  with  Slaugh- 
ter? 


W.  F.  JUERGENS 

I  lost  my  rhyme  on  Juergens, 
And  this  is  in  its  place ; 

But  he's  not  missing  anything — 
I  see  it  by  his  face. 


ANGUS  S.  HIBBARD 

Here  is  a  line  to  me, 

You  will  note  I  am  trying  to  see 

If  the  deal  will  be  fair 

Or  up  in  the  air 

For  the  Telephone  Companee. 


HARRY  B.  CLOW 

Harry  Clow  t    Well  what  do  you 

think  ? 

Anything  from  a  kitchen  sink 
To  the  last  High  Art  of  the  water 

cure 
Harry  can  put  the  pipes  on,  sure! 


EDGAR  J.  UIHLEIN 

If  we  drink  a  glass  to  Uihlein, 

Can  anybody  blame  us  ? 
He  blows  the  foam  from  the  what- 

you-may  call-it 

That  made  some  place  or  other 
famous. 


EDWARD  J.  BRUNDAGE 

Is  Brundage  playing  one  big  joke 

Or  is  he  playing  fair 
When  the  people  see  him  building 

Public  buildings  on  the  square  ? 


JOHN  F.  GILCHRIST 

Qilchrist  says  the  price  of  light 
Is  going  against  nature. 

If  you  think  that  he  is  right 
Just  ask  the  Legislature. 


GUY  V.  DICKINSON 

If  you're  kicking  about  our  finance, 
If  Industrials  do  not  advance, 
Make  Dickinson  pay, 
For  the  fiddler  today, 
He's  treasurer,  let's   make  him 
dance. 


ALBERT  F.  MADLENER 
Albert  P.  Madiener  beats  me  this 

time, 
Somehow  I  can't  fit  his  name  to 

this  rhyme, 
But  surely  it's  clear 
To  every  one  here, 
That  Madiener  fits  in  this  Club  any 

time. 


HOWARD  G.  HETZLER 

Why  is  Hetzler's  railway  like  a  lot 
of  the  rest  of  them — just  now? 

Because  it's  up  in  the  air. 


JOHN  GEORGE  GRAUE 

Born  in  the  last  century, 
Wanted  to  go  to  Heaven, 

So  he  entered  into  the  Industrial 

Club, 
In  Nineteen  hundred  and  seven. 


WILLIAM  A.  BIRK 

A  glass  to  Birk  in  his  own  brew, 
Drain  every  sparkling  drop, 

From  the  bulge  beneath  the  bottom 
To  the  bubbles  on  the  top. 


JOHN  T.  Me  CUTCHEON 

How  can  a  cartoonist 
Cartoon  to  this  rot  ? 

The  face  is  Me  Cutcheon's 
The  rhyme,  it  is  not. 


W.  W.  WILLITS 

When  baby  members  get  a  roast 
We  try  them  out  in  skillets; 

But  all  the  same  we  drink  a  toast 
For  our  new  member  Willits.
